2010.11.18 - Hearing on Clarification of DNA Testing

[5stars]

Is that true?

 

[ohiogirl]

I, for one, think they should use whoever is the most reliable. No appeal issues should be the goal, imo.

 

[logicalgirl]

Maybe the prosecutors are with HHJP?

Didn't I read in one of your news alerts that the SA wasn't involved in this? I guess because they had no dog in the race when the testing was approved, now this argument is just for out of state funding.

Perry OKs More DNA Testing In Anthony Case
Defense Gets Approval For Out-Of-State Testing

http://www.wesh.com/r/25840778/detail.html

During the hearing, Baez claimed that none of the state labs were certified The American Society of Crime Lab Directors. Brad Bischoff, representative for the JAC, could not confirm that any of the labs JAC lists as vendors are confirmed by ASCLAD.

Judge Belvin Perry said since the court had agreed that the items needed to be tested by an ASCLAD lab, he granted Baez's request to send the items to a lab in Pennsylvania called National Medical Services and spend the money on the testing.

One of SAO Jeff Ashton's arguments during the hearing to send the items to Holland for testing was that the E's lab was not ASCLAD certified..so the Defense was DENIED sending the items to Holland to have Touch DNA done on them and both sides had come to an agreement that the Lab in PA was acceptable to both...

I'm fine with the Judge's decision today.

I agree. But if the JAC didn't want to pay for an out of state lab, they should have found one in Florida to use. They didn't, which puzzles me.

Oh well, one more appeal issue taken care of, and that's good.

Just a quick question, guys - so I don't have to read back thru 2 years of threads.

Was there DNA found on Caylee's shorts? Or are they just looking to see if there is any DNA? You don't have to explain - i trust your answers. TIA!!!

They're just checking.

Casey Anthony case: Cash approved to test DNA on Caylee's shorts

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-casey-anthony-dna-test-20101118,0,2182282.story

from the link:
Her attorneys got approval today to spend $2,084 to have an out-of-state laboratory check for DNA on the victim's shorts and on a bag found with her remains.






they really need to watch their wording they left the word "for" out of the title and it's very misleading.

I don't want to see an appeal over this, but I am disappointed for anything that JB may be granted. I don't want him to see him walking around with a smirk on his face.

To get payment, the lab should have to register with JAC as a vendor so it doesn't pass through JB's hands.

When the results come back from the lab, will they be released as discoverable evidence - even if the results are not in ICA's favor?

Really good points!

Yup. "Drillin' fer awl when thar's bin no induhkashun thet awl iz prezent."

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Was this hearing televised? I couldn't find it.

I do not think the defense should be allowed to have the evidence tested out of state. That seems absurd to me, but I trust Judge Perry. Let them test and test and retest. Nothing is going to save our little murderess. I pray for whoever may be victimized by the defense over this latest DNA testing. This case is about 31 days!!

around 6:18 mark
Baez corrects the misinformation that the hair strands are 2 be sent to the PA lab..it is the bag and shorts that they will be sending to PA to get tested.


Now in regards to the hair strands being tested...at the 6:40 mark,
Baez said that they were already sent and have been reviewed by the Defense expert and have either been returned or are on their way back. That inspection is complete.


JAC: That the nature of their main concern was that they never received a copy of the motion from Sept 27 on DNA testing nor a notice of the hearing on Sept 28.
And as the party expected to pay for the testing they had no notice and no opportunity to appear at that hearing.

Baez: Under conditions of the Order by both parties it was not possible to use the labs outlined by the JAC..Did not do any comparison shopping because these labs were not ASCLAD certified.

Judge Perry: In the Sept 28 hearing the SAO argued and the Court agreed with them that the Lab needed a certain certification in this particular case.
Court will permit the testing at the Lab.
The fees which are announce just over $2000 is not an exorbitant amount of money, therefore the Court will GRANT the Motion for DNA testing.

Final Remarks by Judge Perry about Failure of the Defense to notify JAC
At the 10:12 mark
The Court will remind the Defense(the court will take responsibility of this) that whenever they talk about motions that require expenditures of money we need to notice JAC...we are trying to get this case ready for trial and certain deadlines must be met.

 

[TotallyObsessed]

^^^^
Meh, what's a judge to do? Grant them a little money, let's get on with this sideshow. Although it really, really burns me that JP grants ANYTHING for the defense, his ultimate goal is to GET TO TRIAL AND GET THIS THING DONE.

 

[Nore]

So has it happened yet? I figured it was something like this:

HHJP: Okay, is everyone here?
Defense: Yes
JAC: Yes
HHJP: DENIED *click*
JAC: *click*
Baez: Wait! Did he just hang up on me? Hello? JAC? Is anyone there? WAAAAAAA! SO NOT FAIR! I had so many other delays - er, I mean issues - to bring up! Hey, wait, is this being recorded? No one said it was being recorded...*On and on with stupid blather*

Fastest hearing EVER. Well, except for Baez going on and on with no one listening, lol.

-----------------------
Boy you've got that one right! He would have brought up six more things to blather about!
